A 13ft wide detached house in Leicester is on sale for £150,000

A property thought to be the smallest detached house in Britain is on sale for the bargain price of £150,000.

It’s in Leicester, though, so don’t you Londoners dreaming of owning a property in the city get any big ideas.

Or small ideas, rather, as this house is rather tiny.

Number 15 Goldhill Road in Knighton, Leicester, is just 13ft wide and 26ft high, and covers 338 square feet over two floors.

So it’s… cosy.

The home was built in 1900 and has been partially renovated by a property developer after its elderly resident passed away.

It’s in a strong location, near schools and parks and just two miles from the city centre.

And while it is small, the inside of the home is quite nice, made up of a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, two bedrooms, and a family bathroom. There’s also a back garden.

Did we mention it’s only £150,000?

The house is set to be sold by SDL Auctions at Leicester City FC’s King Power Stadium on 3 September.

Senior valuer Carl Finch said: ‘This property is in a great and very desirable location.

‘It’s near some great schools, close to Victoria Park and the city centre and train station are within only two miles. Plus there’s lots of boutique shops close by.

‘The current owner has replaced the roof and carried out 80% of the full refurbishment work.

‘It just needs some small finishing works carrying out. Once all that is completed I estimate the property would be worth £220,000.

‘We have already had lots of interest in this lot. The first of our block viewings was very busy and we have more booked in prior to auction day.
